Detailed explanation-1: -A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home. A habitat meets all the environmental conditions an organism needs to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -The natural surroundings in which an organism live is called its habitat. Organisms are adapted to survive with food, water, shelter and environmental conditions of their natural habitats. A tree is a habitat for squirrels and birds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Environment is the surrounding where an organism, a community or an object exists. It creates favourable conditions for the existence and development of all living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -The theory of the organism-environment system starts with the proposition that in any functional sense organism and environment are inseparable and form only one unitary system. The organism cannot exist without the environment, and the environment has descriptive properties only if it is connected to the organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -In all these environments, organisms interact and use available resources, such as food, space, light, heat, water, air, and shelter. Each population of organisms, and the individuals within it, interact in specific ways that are limited by and can benefit from other organisms.
